🔔🔔GBP/USd news:

👉Weaker-than-expected inflation data pressured the British Pound in early European trading on Wednesday. Later in the day, the UK's Office for Budget Responsibility announced a downward revision of its 2025 GDP growth forecast to 1%, leading to a decline in GBP/USD.
While presenting the Spring Budget, UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves highlighted the increasing instability of the global economy and announced cuts to planned government spending.

👉 On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Labor will release the weekly Initial Jobless Claims data, with markets expecting a rise to 225,000 from the previous 223,000. A significant drop in this figure could strengthen the U.S. dollar and push GBP/USD lower.

👉Meanwhile, market sentiment remains cautious early Thursday following the latest remarks from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding tariffs.

👉 If safe-haven flows dominate financial markets later in the day, GBP/USD may struggle to maintain its position.

Personal opinion:

👉GBP/USD will continue to decline as this pair is vulnerable to potential risks from the trade war.

👉Moreover, a part of investors will turn to safe havens such as gold to keep their assets. So this pair will still be limited in the near future
